Come with me on a training day at @davines_uk with @taylor_taylor_london & @tomgilling 💇🏼‍♀️💇🏼‍♀️

I was lucky enough to go to the Davines World today and spend a day with @tomgilling training all things short hair✨

It was a challenge but I’ve learnt so much and can’t wait to take all my new skills back into the salon! @thehairlounge_hadleigh 🤍

La haine meets Saville row @davinespro

This look was Inspired by my favourite movie La Haine and the graffiti "Le monde est a nous"
These two heritages have more in common than meets the eye as Saville row originated from a working class background.

24 years of hairdressing ✂️🤎

I still remember being told by my teachers in school that hairdressing was a job that paid very badly and didn’t involve much skill. How wrong they were.

24 years later, this career has given me more than I could ever have imagined. It’s taken me to countries I never dreamed I’d visit, introduced me to the most incredible people, given me friendships I’ll have for life, and allowed me to travel the world doing something I genuinely love.

It’s given me opportunities to learn, create, teach, work alongside people who inspire me, and be part of something so much bigger than just doing hair.

It’s also allowed me to build my own business and create a space where other talented, independent hairdressers can work, grow and build their own careers too. And how lucky am I that I get to make a living from something I love so much?

Hairdressing is so much more than people give it credit for. It takes skill, creativity, dedication, passion and a whole lot of hard work. It’s an industry that has given me a life I’m incredibly proud of.

If I could go back and tell that girl in school one thing, it would be to trust herself, follow what she loves and never let someone else’s opinion define what’s possible.

24 years in, and I still feel like there’s so much more to learn, so many more people to meet and so many more opportunities ahead.

Forever grateful I chose this path. And even more grateful for everyone who has been part of it along the way. 🤎✂️

Here’s to the next chapter. ✨

The footballer meets the cyclist @davinespro

This look was all about sweaty hair from sport and the way when you wear a helmet you get helmet hair, which started to resemble the 90s mohawk, taking inspiration from pepole like David Beckham, Freddie Ljungberg and others.

Victorian meets surrealism on @agosmartinez.1 for @davinespro #wwht26 #worldwidehairtour

I had so much fun creating this look and learning how to work with a wig. The idea behind this was to hide the rollers internally, to get the indentations without the classic set.

The best few days in Valencia for WWHT. I used to come to these events to support Tom but now it’s so much more than that. The global community Davines has created is truly incredible and I love being part of it. Huge congrats to everyone involved. Next stop Milan!

4 days of absolute madness, creativity, colour and A LOT of amazing hair✨

What a few days it’s been working backstage with Tom Connell for the @davinespro World Wide Hair Tour in Valencia.

Getting to create some incredible colour, work alongside so many talented people and be part of the team Tom has built has been pretty special. There’s something about being surrounded by people who are just as obsessed with hair as you are.

A huge thank you to @tommconnell for having me along for the ride, and to Davines for creating a space where creativity, education and some of the best talent in the industry can all come together.

Valencia, you’ve been a good one. 🇪🇸

Now… I’m off to recover. 😂

Until the next one 💫

World Wide Hair Tour 2026 | Day 1

From the smallest details to the boldest expressions of artistry, every moment reflected the expertise of knowledgeable hands at work.

World Wide Hair Tour is not only a celebration of creativity, but a moment for the Davines professional community to come together. To share inspiration, exchange knowledge, and connect through a shared passion for artistry.

A meeting of minds. A global community. A reminder that our craft grows stronger when we grow together.

Arrived in Valencia for the #wwht26 with the team @waynelow0810 and @tomgilling and we’ve been super busy prepping for my show, Entre-Deux.

The show is about the intertwining of French and English heritage, bringing together influences from both sides of the Channel.

Can’t wait to show you all what we’ve been working on.
